I feel rather sorry for a lot of overhyped bands. If i were a member of Arctic Monkeys, when the NME journalists voted their first album as one of the top five british albums ever, I'd be pissed off. That kind of thing immediately casts suspicion on a new band.
The Arctic Monkeys themselves are probably as aware as anyone that they're an OK band, but that they need time to see if they can become something more.
Alas, the bargain piles are filled with 'next big things' that were never given that time.
